Redwood – Dry Rivers

 

 

Redwood – Dry Rivers
Self-released – 2024
Rock, Stoner, Psych, Cosmic
Rated: ****

Sure, it is probably mostly in dept to the vocal effects used, but there is a hint of Psychlona here. And if you’ve read some stuff on Stoner HiVe before, you know we love Psychlona! And don’t think this means we are listening to Redwood solely on that merit. Hell no! The four track Dry Rivers EP uses those effects and made them special! The Redwood Special is twenty two minutes of lovely swirling stoner and circling cosmic rock! It’s a Sheafer McOmber special, for it is another of his outlets. A project like his Bloodshot Buffalo. But you might know the man from Deer Lord or way back when he was playing in an outfit called Civillian Assault. And if you’ve listened to any of those outfits the quality of this release will not come as a surprise. The doom touch used to rough up the edges, that psychedelic twirl to turn everything into a kaleidoscope and the stoner groove to turn it all into one gigantic and blissful wave. These Rivers ain’t dry at all, but filled with wonderful crashes and an endless current to surf…
